From the Unite for HER website:
When Sue Weldon was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004, she began searching for information on therapies that would complement the medical treatments she was receiving. What she discovered was a lack of easily accessible resources on topics like nutrition, acupuncture, massage, yoga, counseling and other ways for breast cancer patients to enhance their wellness and care for their emotional, spiritual, and physical needs.
In 2009 Weldon founded Unite for HER to Help Empower and Restore others diagnosed with breast cancer.
Unite for HER’s outreach began in Philadelphia, PA, and has since grown to provide services, support, and education to those affected by breast and ovarian cancers nationwide.
